For one month each summer, it has been our tradition to open ourselves to the wisdom and inspiration of a carefully chosen book around which we center our Sunday worship services. This summer, it’s the month of July, and the book is “The Amen Effect — Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and World” by Rabbi Sharon Brous.
July offers this unique opportunity for a different kind of Sunday morning gathering. We will be exploring the sacred in our Christian tradition through the eyes of a Jewish rabbi who has a unique take on building community, seeing each other's pain and gift, and learning how to say AMEN to it all.
We are excited to launch “July LIGHT” on July 7th. "Light" because while our worship experience will be every bit as profound as ever, it will embody a spirit of "lightness" as well. "Light" because we are in the midst of these glorious months of longer days and the particular gifts this season brings. "Light" because we trust this will be a time of enlightenment as we open ourselves to the rich illumination of the Holy One who abides with us always.
Each week will carry its own thought-provoking theme for us to explore:
July 7: Making our Way Together (watch here)
July 14: Show Up — See Each Other (watch here)
July 21: See No Stranger (watch here)
July 28: Your Adversary is Human too! (watch here)
July LIGHT invites everyone to delight in each other’s company as we venture to “walk in the light” together!
